I know this has been asked but nt db is not being nice.
What do you have?
Looking at a holga 120. What are some other options. Anyone have any sample images they have taken I can see.
In the words of son,
ONE.

i got a holga. still trying to wokr out the kinks though. i'm a n00b to it.

i got one.
holga (obviously) takes 120mm, a medium format camera. if you are not going to develop the pictures yourself, don't bother. it can get a lot more expansive then it should getting them developed in stores.

holga all the way!
i've got a 120 with a fash. cant get it to leak enough light still though...

i'm a total n00b and I don't develop my own film. My first two attempts turned my negs green. Trying a different place on the next roll.

hmm that would be an issue then since I am not developing my own film.
I don't want to spend a fortune. What are some other options then that are not medium format film?

those plastic kodak disposable cameras have some interesting results.
you could cross process the film too.

now what exactly does the cross-processing do? I did my first two Lomo LCA films and I'm not sure what the results were.

what a nice design : )

it's when you process neg film as slide, or vice versa. sends the colours crazzzyy.

holgas are very cool but you should look for a diana camera.. holga lens's are too nice in my opinion.. the diana's have very cool distortion from there cheap lenses.. also.. just hit up some antique stores .. there are all kinds of somewhat cheapy type 120 cameras.. or buy a 620 and take your dremel tool to it to enlarge it too fit 120.. or by a http://www.lensbabies.com and just hook it too your digi.. been wanting one of these for awhile.

i have an argoflex 75 (620) I haven't developed the film yet, and refitting it to take 120 seemed like a lot of effort, i just buy 620 from b&h.

there is a tutorial that shows you how to turn your holga from a 120 to a 35mm. its actually pretty easy.
from what i remember you need some rubber bands, foam and tape.
I still have yet to use my holga but i need to paint the inside.

javad, what kind of film did you use?

fuck
nice link dude!
I use Fuji Sensia 100 slide film and process it C4
- alkanenine0
ah cool ;)
quick question, when you load your holga, do you do it in a darkroom? i want to go out shooting, but want to shoot more then 16 shots at once time.
